Bike for a big guy

Michael Donathan · 09-03-2021, 08:33 AM

I want to get into biking for the exercise as my knees can't take running and could use some advice on what is best suited for me. I am 5'9" and aprox 350 lbs. I have read a fat tire bike would be good for me but i don't know which one.

hello Michael. I remember guys at Kent were giving away a Big League bike. I suggest you look it up on the internet, though it states "up to 325lbs".
